Chinese  Educational  Exhibit  at  S esqui-C entennial 
International  Exposition 


CHINESE  EDUCATIONAL  EXHIBITS 


response  to  the  invitation  of  the  Sesqui'centennial  International 
Exposition,  the  Chinese  National  Association  for  the  Advance^ 
ment  of  Education  issued  a  call  for  materials  toward  the  organi2,ation  of 
Chinese  Educational  Exhibits  in  the  Palace  of  Education  and  Social  Econ^ 
omy.  Thirtytwo  educational  institutions  in  China  responded  and  more 
than  one  thousand  five  hundred  articles  were  received.  The  actual 
installation  and  management  of  the  Exhibits  were  entrusted  to  the  China 
Institute  in  America. 


Although  limited  space  did  not  permit  the  full  presentation  of  all  phases 
of  Chinese  education,  nevertheless,  the  Exhibits  covered  the  essential 
features.  The  central  panel  of  the  booth,  entitled  ''Five  Thousand 
Years  of  Education,’’  wasi  devoted  to  charts  on  the  evolution  of  Chinese 
culture  and  educational  system.  A  second  panel,  entitled  "Confucius: 
China’s  Greatest  Teacher,”  displayed  a  portrait  of  Confucius  as  well  as 
pictures  of  institutions  created,  through  his  influence  and  of  shrines  dedi^ 
cated  to  his  memory.  These  two  appropriately  served  as  the  background 
of  modern  Chinese  education.  A  third,  entitled  "Removal  of  Illiteracy 
in  this  Generation,”  depicted  the  activities  of  the  Mass  Education 
Movement.  A  fourth,  entitled  "Economic  Reconstruction  Through 
Scientific  Education,”  pointed  out  the  efforts  that  are  being  put  forth 
for  the  introduction  and  application  of  scientific  knowledge.  Two  other 
panels,  the  one  entitled  "What  One  Government  University  Is  Doing” 
and  the  other  "What  One  Province  Is  Doing,”  graphically  and  pictorially 
presented  the  work  of  a  representative  university  and  that  of  primary, 
secondary,  and  normal  education  of  a  representative  province.  Of  spe^ 
cial  interest  to  Americans  was  the  exhibit  from  Tsing  Hua  College, 
which  is  a  unique  example  of  Chinese  American  co-operation  in  educa¬ 
tion.  Other  exhibits,  shown  either  in  cases  or  on  racks,  included  text¬ 
books,  students’  work  in  art  and  in  mechanics,  samples  of  improved 
crops,  school  statistics,  and  pictures  of  museums  and  libraries. 

The  Exhibits  attempted  to  convey  to  the  American  public  the  idea  of 
the  continuity  of  Chinese  culture,  of  the  rapid  progress  in  modern  educa¬ 
tion,  and  of  the  evolution  of  a  new  Chinese  civili2;ation,  resulting  from 
contacts  with  the  West. 

During  the  time  of  the  Exposition,  the  Educational  Exhibits  received 
considerable  attention  from  visitors  and  called  forth  not  a  few  favorable 
comments.  Mr.  Joseph  R.  Wilson,  Director  of  Education  and  Social 
Economy  of  the  Exposition,  thus  estimated  the  value  of  these  Exhibits: 
"All  China  owes  a  debt  of  gratitude  to  those  who  assembled,  forwarded, 
and  installed  China’s  Educational  Exhibit  in  the  Palace  of  Education  and 
Social  Economy  of  the  Sesqui-centennial  International  Exposition.  It  is 

{Three') 


a  message  to  the  world  of  a  New  China.  .  .  .  Little  was  known  in  the 
United  States  of  education  in  China  prior  to  the  installation  of  this 
Exhibit.  .  .  Mr.  Odell  Hauser,  one  of  the  Directors  of  the  Exposition, 
wrote  of  this  Exhibit:  “The  potentialities  of  this  Young  Republic  are 
shown  here  in  compact  form.  Young  China  is  certainly  awake  and  doing. 
Before  long,  we  shall  see  a  modern  China.  .  .  The  l^ew  Tor\  Times, 
after  describing  these  Exhibits,  said:  “One  of  the  most  successful  projects 
of  the  China  Institute  in  America  was  the  Chinese  Educational  Exhibit 
at  the  Sesqui^centennial  in  Philadelphia.’’ 

The  International  Jury  of  Award  of  the  Sesqui-centennial  International 
Exposition,  after  carefully  examining  these  Exhibits,  awarded  a  Grand 
Pri2;e  to  the  Educational  Exhibits  of  the  Republic  of  China  “for  the 
development  of  a  comprehensive  system  of  public  education,”  and  a 
Medal  of  Honor  to  the  China  Institute  in  America  for  “its  unique  and 
original  presentation  of  the  Chinese  Educational  Exhibits.” 

INSTITUTE  OF  TECHNICAL  TRAINING 

^rtR.  JOSEPH  BAILIE,  who  went  to  China  in  1890,  devoted  himself 
during  the  past  few  years  to  securing  opportunities  for  practical 
experience  for  Chinese  technical  students  in  this  country.  It  was  largely 
through  his  influence  that  more  than  a  hundred  students  were  placed  in 
the  Ford  Motor  Factory  at  Detroit  and  other  industrial  plants.  His 
work  in  this  direction  has  recently  received  the  endorsement  from  the 
China  Foundation  for  the  Promotion  of  Education  and  Culture.  A 
subsidy  has  been  granted.  His  work  shall  henceforth  be  known  as  “The 
Institute  for  Technical  Training”  with  offices  in  Shanghai  and  America. 

The  work  of  the  Shanghai  office  consists  of  the  registration  and  place" 
ment  of  students  returning  to  China  seeking  for  opportunities  of  service, 
and  the  promotion  of  supplementary  education  for  apprentices  in  the 
factories.  The  American  office  will  devote  its  attention  to  the  securing 
of  opportunities  for  practice  for  students  of  technical  training.  The 
work  of  this  new  Institute  has  also  received  the  warm  support  of  Mr. 
Julean  Arnold,  Commercial  Attache  to  American  Legation  in  Peking, 
who  believes  that  the  industrial  plants  and  commercial  offices  in  this 
country  that  extend  such  privileges  to  Chinese  students  will  find  it  dis" 
tinctly  to  their  advantage  to  help  these  students  to  secure  practical  train" 
ing  and  that  such  assistance  is  bound  to  redound  to  the  advantage  of 
American  trade  with  China. 

The  Shanghai  office  is  located  at  38  Quinsan  Road.  Mr.  Bailie  is  now 
travelling  in  this  country  in  the  interest  of  the  work.  He  is  working  in 
close  co"Operation  with  the  China  Institute.  His  American  address  is 
in  care  of  Mr.  Frederick  E.  Searle,  Ford  Motor  Factory,  Detroit,  Mich.
